..rEmPERANCE,,1N NEW YORK,

ssTEMP ERANCE'' IN NEW YORK.
One of the most notable of recent efforts
in the cause of temperance is the action of
the New York excise commissioners. An
expressed purpose of the law being to 'ssup
press intemperance" the commissioners be-
lieve that its intention can be carried
out by encouraging the sale of beer and light
wines. The use of beer and light wines sell
dom, they say, leads to intoxication, and
among those who drink them poverty and
crime as the result of intemperance are rare.
They are comparatively cheap, and form the
customary drink of a very large portion of
the population, with great number of
whom the use of beer is habit of daily diet.
Many of these cannot afford to purchase
more expensive drinks. The distribution
and sale of beer is, to very conside rable
extent, made by small dealers whose profits
are not large. The commissioners have,
therefore, considered it wise to prescribe
special and comparatively cheap grade of
license for this class of dealers. An ale and
beer license has been heretofore fixed at $50,
the lowest rate allowed by law, but it has
been of little practical benefit because most
of those who sell beer principally find it
necessary to sell wine also, and in order to
do that they have been compelled to take out
full saloon license, for which they pay $75
1t has been determined to fix new grade of
license to sell ale, beer and wine at lower
rate.
The new schedule of rates is interesting.
It is as follows:
For a first-class. hotel, $3.50; for second
class hotel, 5000; to sell strong or spirituous
liquors. wines, ale and beer, in quantities
less than five gallons at time, to be drank
on the premises (known saloon license),
5000; to sell ale, beer and wines only, to be
drank on the premises, $50; to sell .ale and
beer only, to be drank on the premises, $780,
For storekeeper's license, to sell strong
spirituous liquors, wines, ale and beer, in
quantities less than five gallons at time,
not to be drank the premises: For one
whose sales are $10 900 or more per annum,
$780, for one whose gales are
So 900 or more, and less than $4,000 per
annum, $3.50; for one whose sales are 50, 500
or more, but less than $4,000 Der annum,
500; for one whose sales are So, 500 or less
per annum, $50.
It will be instructive to see how this works.
The increase of the fee of a saloon license
from $75 to 5000 is a good move, and per-
haps the reduction of the fee for the sale of
lioht liouors won't do any harm

me that a wandering company is going
through Portugal with it, and that it is ap-
plauded in every town. Who can affirm that
the theater will always be rebellious with me,
| and that the time will not come when the

TUSSLE WITH AN EAGLE.
The Bird of Freedom Caught by the
Pilot of Locomotive.


IFrom the Chattanooga Times
The cannon ball train on the Georgia divi-
sion of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railway was late yesterday and made
laundering speed from Atlanta to this city.
AS the train swept around curve into cut
near Coltewah Junction, fifteen miles east of
Chattanooga, an enormous bald eagle was
seen on the track by Mr.. w. N. Fortune, the
fireman, who was at the moment peering
through the forward window of the cab.
The pilot was upon his eagleship before he
could rise, struck him, tumbled him up on
the frame, where he clutched wooden beam
with one of his great claws and held fast.
Before the bird had time to recover from the
fright and shock of his collision with the
sscowcatcher" Fortune had climbed along the
footway to the pilot and was upon the noble
emblem of American liberty, when a lively
tussle ensued.
The eagle fought viciously for his liberty,
and the fireman was equally determined on
making him his prisoner. The struggle was
| something unique and had about it elements
| of the terrific. The train was going at the
rate of forty five miles an hour. The man
| had to hold by one hand with all his power
| to one of the iron guards below the head
| light to keep his footing, as the engine
| swayed from side tc side and bounded over
| the inequalities of the track in its headlong
race against time, and managed the eagle
| with the other hand. But his biraship was
| finally secured after he had nearly torn MI.
| Fortunes overalls to shreds with his power
| full talons that are fully four inches long.
| He was carried back over the footway fight
| ing like a demon. Once in the cab Engineer
Parks went to Fortunes aid, and by hard
work they succeeded in tying the "king of
| the upper ether" securely, though their task
| was no easy one, as the eagle fought savagely
with beak and claw as long as one of his
| captors was within his reach.
When tied he was spread out on the cab
floor and found TO measure seven feet from
| tip to tip of the wings. He stands fully two
feet high when fully erect and is altogether
splendid specimen of the monarch of Amer
lean birds. He was sold to Samuel r. Read,
of the Read House, for twelve dollars and a
half.
This is probably the first instance of the
capture of an eagle by railway train
